Tough Trio

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Jonathan Duhamel, Jarred Solomon, and Phil Hellmuth having been sitting side-by-side-by-side for a while now. The pots have been mostly small-to-medium sized at their table, with Hellmuth gradually trending upward while Solomon and Duhamel have lost a few of late.

Just now all three were involved in a hand that saw Duhamel raise to 4,000 from the hijack, Solomon call from the cutoff, and Hellmuth also call from the button. The flop came {Q-Clubs}{A-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Duhamel checked, Solomon fired 14,000, Hellmuth called, and Duhamel folded. Both remaining players then checked the {9-Hearts} turn and {3-Hearts} river.

"Two pair," said Hellmuth, showing his {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for aces and nines, and Solomon paused to recheck his hand before tossing his cards away.
